  This company is a complete scam. They charged us ***** for a bathroom remodeling that we could have spent 5 grande on. The salesperson was a complete snake oil salesman that we fell for. They guarantee 1 day installment . It took 3 days for our shower to be installed in addition to 2 month waiting for our bathroom door, which in itself was 5 grande. Complete sham. The work was shotty at best, cracked out wall, crooked shower head and handle, caulking around the shower was horrible and out salespers9n ghosted us after they received payment and we didn't even get a discount after having to wait 2 months for a shower door.DO NOT IN ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. NOT WORTH A *****.

  We signed an agreement with NewPro Home Solutions to provide a tub-to-shower bathroom conversion on 8-4-23. Agreement indicated a start date of 6 to 8 weeks (September 15 to September 29, 2023). We understand that delays may occur. Since October 16 we repeatedly requested someone from NewPro to contact us (re.) an update on when our project might begin. Numerous messages over many weeks have all been ignored. We left numerous messages for our sales rep *********************** to call us. He never did. After weeks of frustration, we consider further requests to be pointless. We no longer have faith or confidence in NewPro and no longer wish to do business with the company in any way. All we are asking is that NewPro return our $10,000 deposit - held since August 4, 2023.

  We were contacted by NewPro and were offered a $3K "discount".  This is unacceptable. All we are asking is that NewPro return our $10,000 deposit - held since August 4, 2023.

  Newpro has not been compliant with their accounting team in order to make the necessary changes for my financing from Dividend Finance to reflect the appropriate date of completion for my project. For Dividend to make the adjustments to the financing and offered promo so the accrued interest would be accurate Newpro needs to get in contact with them per their request. I had 2 bath renovations contracted with Newpro both were scheduled to be completed in Jan 2023. Only one bath was completed during the January '23 visit. I have a promotion that does not require any money down for 18 Months upon completion of the project. The total amount financed for the completion of the project, 2 bath installs and 2 windows, is $23,434.00. Newpro filed a notice of completion to Dividend Finance and Dividend paid Newpro $23,434 on 1/19/23. The notice of completion should not have been submitted. I informed Dividend Finance on 1/20/23 that the job was incomplete and the full amount for the project should not have been disbursed to Newpro. I sent a photo proof of an incomplete job to Dividend. After contacting Newpro, there was no attempt from their accounting team to make the change of completion date. Newpro started the install of the 2nd bath and the 2 windows 8/12/23. The work wasn't considered complete until a window issue was resolved on 10/7/23. After inspecting the window, the project manager and I agreed that the job completion date can be confirmed as 10/7/23 since that was the last day a Newpro tech was on site pertaining to that project. I also requested again for Newpro to contact Dividend to inform them of this information as Dividend requires the finance info confirmation directly from Newpro. The financed amount of $23,434 has accrued interest from Jan 19, 2023 to present. I do not agree with being responsible for the interest that has accrued since the incorrect date of completion was reported by Newpro. Newpro's accounting team to update this info immediately.

  Newpro installed a bath replacement in December 2022. As part of the contract and job, Newpro applied for plumbing, electrical, and building permits from the City. Upon completing the work in December 2022, Newpro did not have any of the final inspections done and demanded full payment for work. When we realized that none of the final inspections were done in Spring 2023, we contacted customer service and/or the permitting department in April, May, June, and July only to be told that they had referred our issue to the production department and someone would handle it as soon as possible. In July, we also emailed the plumber and contractor listed on the permit applications, and the plumber arranged the plumbing inspection on Aug. 14. He indicated that he would ask Newpro to schedule the remaining inspections as quickly as possible but we have received no further communications from Newpro since. We would like Newpro to obtain the necessary electrical and building inspections to close out their permits as this should have been done in December 2022, and we have been trying to get Newpro to resolve the situation for over 6 months.

  This feedback was escalated to our Operations Manager and the Director of Plumbing. The plumbing and electric inspections have been completed and the building permit is currently in the works of being closed out. Our Director of ******** has called the homeowner to make them aware of this update. We apologize for this communication experience as it is not reflective of our typical procedures. This communication error is being reviewed internally with the team to ensure that this kind of situation does not happen again in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  In August 2023 we were visited by a newpro sales rep. ** told us all these wonderful things about a new roof. Including that the roofers took many classes to install the roof. We got financed for a very very large sum. We could have had 2 roofs done for the price. But everything sounded amazing. We get the roof done. And the roofers (sub contacted) didn't even know how to properly install the roof. Our old roof and boards were supposed to be fully removed since we had old live edge boards and some mold. They didn't remove it just added ply wood over it. The vents were not cut out. And the edging of the roof is wrong. After several attempts of complaints to newpro who keeps telling us we will get a call to set up to fix... we never get that call after 3 different attempts of working with them. They then tell us they will redo the whole roof and call us to set that up and again no phone call. Also learning the roofers they sent has only done 2 roofs for newpro and they never went through the classes newpro says all their contractors must pass.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delays and the lack of follow-through. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we apologize for the frustration that the homeowner has experienced as a result. An on-site inspection is being scheduled at the homeowners earliest convenience to have these issues addressed and resolved.

  As a rponse to a request for more information, we had a meeting with two NewPro associates re: two bath remodels. The meeting was extremely intense, as the associates kept dropping the price when we were unsure and offered "only if we sign today" deals. We felt extremely pressured and did go forward with a contract, although we had almost immediate buyers remorse. The project was delayed several times, and before any product was delivered or any company representative came on site, we called (several times before receiving a call back) to cancel our order. We had already paid almost $4,000 cash that was not financed, and were told if we were to cancel the job, we would still owe 30% of the total project cost which was approximately another $4,700 with deferred interest.We have not had one minute of work done in our home and the zero interest promo period is coming due at the end of Sept 2023, leaving us soon the hook for this 30% + exorbitant interest , bringing the current total to $7,503 in addition to the $4,000 we already paid - for NO WORK BEING DONE AND NO PRODUCT EVER BEING DELIVERED,

  My mother in law purchased a Kohler walk in tub with jets from Newpro back in 2021 & over the last year (2022-2023) she has had to have the gasket replaced on the door replaced due to leakage. Then the door replaced, and now the tub is leaking below. Either at the piping or the handheld shower head! She has a 5 year warranty with a lifetime warranty on the shell & the faucets. When I called Kohler, I was told that the company (Newpro) who installed our tub, went out of business, and that they would need to find someone else to work on our tub? WHAT?!! $25k she paid! The person who did come does not normally work on these walk in tubs either! Omg!! She is elderly & was taken advantage of when she was living alone! NOT OK!!! Definitely not worth the money they charged her! No shower was originally placed. Just a handheld shower head. They charged her extra to put tile on her walls surrounding the tub. The drain has had issues several times. I could go on & on.Essentially, not worth $25k

  Both the NEWPRO and KOHLER teams are working with this homeowner . A specialized technician is being sent to the home to address these concerns so that we can figure out next steps for resolving all issues. We truly apologize for any confusion- NEWPRO still remains in business as a home improvement company that has been serving *********** for over 78 years.  NEWPRO and KOHLER remain committed to servicing this project.

  I am writing to file a formal complaint against Newpro (act.#******).In July 2022, I contacted Newpro to request the addition of replacement windows for my home. I was initially assured that the company could assist me with my request, and a representative was dispatched to my location on July 18th. The salesperson assured us the windows would be made and installed in October to our satisfaction. If issues such as windows installed improperly or didnt function correctly, they would resolve the issue. They also stated we would not pay for the windows until the installation was complete. The crew worked from 8am-9:30pm. The windows were removed before the replacements were installed. They measured and ordered them incorrectly, resulting in the old windows being put back in without sealing. During this time, one window was installed without the proper hardware (mentioned by the install crew) and another window had ripped screens. My air conditioning refrigerant line was damaged when an old window was dropped on the line. Two windows were installed with the wrong caulking which will result in damaging the new windows when trim is installed. I contacted Newpro and described the unsatisfactory job, as well as the damage to the new windows. The manager came out to inspect the damage and was very disappointed with the install. He stated a new crew would fix the issues. Despite several attempts, no representative was able to provide any meaningful assistance. ***, operations manager, has failed to send the change order he promised for the originally planned windows and two windows he agreed to add without fee. We are now paying for windows and repairs that we have not received. I believe that Newpro's actions constitute a violation of the Better Business Bureau's standards for ethical business practices, and I am therefore filing this complaint in the hopes that you can help me to resolve this matter.

  A NEWPRO Project Manager has been in communication with this homeowner. The homeowner has signed a change order and our team will be reordering the product. The Project Manager is in the process of scheduling a site inspection to assess the air conditioning refrigerant line damage. This is not reflective of our installation process and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

  I had an estimate from Newpro Windows. I thought the estimate was for new windows. I signed the contract on November 18, 2022. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, someone came out to measure windows on 11/21/22. When I tried to get the loan approved for Green *** Loans, I was denied. The salesman said if I upped the household income, the loan would probably be approved. He suggested I have my son or daughter sign. I did and later learned she was put as co-signer which I definitely didn't want. My son, who works for a roofer/sider/window company said that what Newpro was providing was replacement windows and our windows are so rotten, I would need new construction windows. I tried to cancel contract and the owner *************************, told me they already made custom windows and I couldn't cancel. I don't feel believe that the replacement windows they sell will satisfy building codes. The owner told me they wouldn't put in windows that wouldn't do the job. I disagree; in the long run, the replacement windows won't work. In addition, I had two quotes from two window companies who quoted $24,000 versus Newpro's $35,036. Through Green *** Loans, at the end of the two-year payment deferrment, I would be paying $986 per month at *****%. This is quite en escalation in cost. I would love to have some assistance here. I want to cancel this contract. The owner has passed my information onto their legal department. I think this might be a time-sensitive situation. I appreciate anything you can do on my behalf.

  The *** has been in contact with this homeowner. The homeowner has attempted to cancel their contract far beyond the recision time period. The custom windows have already been ordered and made by the manufacturer. The *** is working closely with a legal team and the homeowner regarding this project.

  Purchased a sliding door and screen from NewPro in September ****, which came with a Lifetime warranty. In July 2021 I contacted NewPro because there was a leak around door frame and the handle of the screen door was loose/broken and the frame of the screen was warped. A technician came to my home on July 6th, caulked around the frame and verified that I had a lifetime warranty and that he would look into getting a replacement for the screen door. U heard nothing back and began calling NewPro in August 2021 and continued calling to follow up on the varied responses about 11 times. During 2022, after having no success in *******************, I contacted the ************************ for assistance. They got the same response that I did, that it was in the hands of the manufacturer and a replacement should be available soon. After a period of time, the AGs office closed the case, saying that they could not force a company to comply, and suggested I go to small claims court. I then contacted 2 media outlet advocates for assistance, only to be told the same thing. I STILL do not have a functioning sliding screen on my door after 2 years of trying to resolve thisand I STiLL have a LIFETIME warranty.

  NEWPRO is sorry to hear about this. We escalated this feedback to our ** of ***** Services, who has attempted to reach the homeowner via call and text messages. Based on photos of this project, it has been determined that the damage done to this door is not a manufacturing defect. The ** of ***** Services will be discussing the warranty and next steps to servicing this project with the homeowner.
